Greetings everyone,
I'm new to chainsaws and this forum as well. I just bought a Makita 6100 and was wondering what's the best spare bar and chain to buy for cutting in particularly sandy terrain. I've heard that Tsumura super bars are pretty up there (as well as the price).
I'm in the process of buying 30 acres down here in TX and it is DEEPLY wooded. We'll be using back hoes and mini excavators for clearing a trail and taking down the larger cedars, but I'll be using a chainsaw for the "detail" work (clearing in between the oaks and pines).
Question: Is the 6100 a good choice or should I go bigger? I just returned an ECHO 590 because it was having a hard time getting through an 18-20" oak. In it's defense, it was oddly solid. My mother in-law also asked me to cut a square hole around the core of a cedar stump and make her a flower pot. It didn't do to well on that task either.
I thank y'all in advance for your input.
